Volunteer

Hands Holding Volunteer

Volunteers are an integral and valued part of our team at Carefor Hospice Cornwall.

We offer specialized training in all areas.  All volunteers are required to have a valid police check on file to work within our organization. They also must take part in a Palliative Care Course, given by a registered health care professional. This course covers all aspects of end-of-life care and how it pertains to volunteering at Hospice.

We have teams of volunteers who assist in many ways:

  • Front Desk Reception
  • Housekeeping
  • Music Therapy
  • Bereavement
  • Kitchen Helper
  • Baking
  • Gardening
  • Nurse’s Assistant (non-medical)
  • Palliative Day Program
  • Volunteer Visiting
  • Fundraising

If you would like to learn more about volunteering, please contact our Volunteer & Programs Coordinator, Kristan Poirier, at 613-938-2763 ext. 4140. You may also visit Hospice Cornwall at 1507 Second Street West in Cornwall to receive a copy of the Volunteer Application Form.

We look forward to welcoming you to our team!
